 run them in parallel by invoking the ``yt.enable_parallelism()`` function in

+Obtaining Source Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are two ways to get the yt source code when using an Anaconda
+installation.
+
+Option 1:
+
+Clone the yt repository with:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt
+
+Once inside the yt directory, update to the appropriate branch and
+run ``setup.py``. For example, the following commands will allow you
+to see the tip of the development branch.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  hg up yt
+  python setup.py develop
+
+This will make sure you are running a version of yt corresponding to the 
+most up-to-date source code.
+
+Option 2:
+
 Recipes to build conda packages for yt are available at
 https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes.  To build the yt conda recipe, first
 clone the conda-recipes repository
